Course as Rigger, technician of work at height

Il nuovo corso da Rigger* tecnico delle lavorazioni in quota anno 2024/2025, finanziato totalmente dalla Regione Emilia Romagna e sostenuto dalla Prostand Corporate Academy, aprirà i battenti il prossimo 28 febbraio e terminerà ad aprile 2024 dopo 400 ore di lezioni e 200 ore di stage pratici.

The Rigger is a highly specialised figure in the temporary set-up sector, competent in occupational safety practices that enable the operator to set up, assemble and position suspension systems, lift and support stage set-ups and equipment at height.

Of the 13 enrolled, 8 are women, a sign that the Rigger is no longer a male-only job. The average age of the women is lower (32) than that of the men (39). The youngest trainee is only 21 years old. The overall average age dropped by one year compared to the previous year: from 36 to 35.

The course for the year 2023/2024 is drawing to a close with the last internships in companies in the sector.
